By kingofchocolates

First Genmeet for 2008!

SINING 2008
*AguPips have only three weeks left before the first day of Sining 2008.

Money Mattters
FinComm encourages all members to do their best in obtaining sponsors and solicitations. The organization is in dire need of funds especially since the cost of medals and trophies alone comprises around 70% of the total project budget.

Judges
If you can suggest or personally know some people who can be probable judges for the different events for Sining 2008, please inform GBOI, JOHN CARL or DENESSE immediately. Referrals will also do.
At least 3 judges are needed for each event. And judges for the performing events (Impromptu Speech, Crisotan, Declamation, Solo-Singing, Choral, Band, Streetdance and Interpretative Dance) need to be present on the day itself.
For the rest, we can just bring the entries to them (or the copies of the entries) for judging.

Shirt
A design was submitted by LOREE and THEA. All creative ideas will be put together for the final design of the SINING 2008 shirt. The shirt will be white.

Publicity
A poster made by AGA is already available. Make sure to include posters whenever you give out invitation to schools. An Aslag: The Sining Edition is in the works, so you can start submitting entries or ideas for it.

Contest details
The contest piece for the Crisotan Competition is now available. For the Choral competition, the songs to be performed must be a Kapampangan novelty song and a recent Pop-R&B hit.

OTHER FUNDRAISERS
*The Jag-Lee Sale, in partnership with Aguman alumna Arvee Salazar, is scheduled for February 5-7 at the Virata Hall (ISSI). AguPips are requested to man the venue for the said dates during their free time.
*Babarug Pipitik 3 will be launched on January 31, 2008! So AguBoys, samasnan yu nang pepesus! Haha!

APPLICATION PROCESS
*The new batch of applicants for the Second Semester were presented during the Genmeet. Their chosen batchname Agyuan 2007B. The applicants present were: Carlo Cortez (batch head), Monica Muñoz, Rachelle Eguia, Demsen Cosio and Drei.
*Buddy-bidding is scheduled on January 17, 2008.

ALUMNI
*The alumni, especially Charter member Meliza Santos-Henares, would like to extend their gratitude to the residents for their support and participation during the Luau Party last December 29, 2007.

MEMBERS, coordinate with your COMMITTEE HEADS ne? Kutang yu nang tambing nung pakananu kayu makasaup, oki? Aja! Go SINING 2008! (^^,)

Talkback: Impromptu EBS!

January 8, 2008 -- It was never planned, but the day turned out to be quite an Extreme Bonding Session, in every sense of the phrase.

The original plan was just to watch the new Nicolas Cage-starrer National Treasure: Book of Secrets, with just a few of the AguPips. But what actually happened was a lot more.

*Chilled out at Cerealicious care of Ate Nat's Gift Cheques!
*Watched the movie at The Block, with the AguPips occupying three rows at the balcony (wa, pakanta la karakal!, Hehe!)
*It's Anj's 17th birthday! So meg-take out 6 pizzas keng Pizza Hut.
*Watched the free concert at the Quezon Hall for UP's Centennial Celebration.

All in all, the AguPips were together for up to 10 hours! (",)

Aguman Luau Party well-attended

December 29, 2007 -- Almost 90 Aguman alumni and residents gathered for a night of reminiscing and camaraderie for the kick-off party of UP Aguman’s 35th Year at the Simple Asia Restaurant & Bar, Angeles City. The event was spearheaded by the UP Aguman Alumni Foundation, Inc led by its President, Meliza Santos-Henares. The residents also took part in the preparations by helping out in the decoration of the venue.

The alumni and resident members donned their best Hawaiian attire for the Luau-themed party. Vicky Keys (27 One 1979B) and Renan Del Rosario (Charter) were crowned the Queen and King of the Luau for having the best attire.

The Opening Remarks by Charter member Marian Santos-Nash kicked off the evening’s formal program. It was followed by the roll-call of all members starting with the residents, 2000s, 1990s, 1980s and 1970s alumni and then finally, the three Charter members present – Meliza Santos-Henares, Marian Santos-Nash and Renan Del Rosario. Most applauded in terms of their hilarious reminiscing antics were undoubtedly, the 1970s batch, led by Rosve Henson (1976B) and Kenn Ramirez (1978B).

RIGHT: The wacky 1970's batch, as they introduced themselves and divulge old 'secrets'!

After a Hawaiian feast consisting of roasted calf, pork kebab and garlic fish to name a few, in true Aguman bonding style the fun games began, as prepared by Rosie Dayrit (Siklab 1980A) and the residents’ Membership Committee. Some of the games were Pinoy Henyo, Bring Me and the classic Charades.

Aside from the fun games, intermission numbers were also performed: the Dance Medley of the 1970s Batch, “Mutya Ning Aguman” Kevin Peñalba’s (Langgotsi 2006B) repeat performance of Rihanna’s “Umbrella” and the impromptu stand-up act of Felipe Pablo IV (Langgotsi 2006B), who spoofed Annabelle Rama and Ruffa Gutierrez.

Past UP Aguman Presidents that were present during the Luau Party were also honored: Rosve Henson (1978-79), Rene "Powie" de Guzman (1983-84), Jose Erwin Enriquez (1989-90), Greg Bituin (1993-94), Leslie Salunga (2002-03), Joeven Rex Dizon (2003-04), Joman Laxamana (2005-06) and Celine Dagdag (2006-07). Charter member Meliza Santos-Henares was also recognized for her exemplary leadership of the UP Aguman Alumni Foundation, Inc since its inception.

The prizes for the winners and the recognized individuals were Kapampangan Ensaymadas and baskets of fruits for the New Year.

UP Aguman celebrates Christmas with a Gift-Giving activity

By pekepate

December 22, 2007 – UP Aguman celebrated Christmas 2007 differently and customarily. There was the traditional caroling and Christmas party, but to observe the holidays for meaningfully, Aguman had a gift-giving activity to the less fortunate.
The gift-giving activity, planned by an ad hoc committee of UP Aguman and sponsored by the organization’s alumni, materialized at Sitio Kadenang Kristal and Sitio Marimar Sapang Biabas, Mabalacat, Pampanga. After the heartwarming program came the AguCaroling and Christmas party around the vicinity of Mauaque Resettlement Center and at Fergie Panganiban’s (Kadaya 2005A) residence, respectively. Indeed, the day was a great deal of activities and fun.

In a desire to reach out to the destitute people of Mabalacat, boosted by the spirit of Christmas, Aguman Alumni Boogie (1976A) and Julie David (1979B), the Mabalacat Residents of Southern California (MRSC), and in cooperation with UP Aguman residents pushed through with the month-long devised outreach program.

Seventy children (35 from each site) were the recipients of goods which were packed early that morning by the AguResidents.

The AguResidents visited first the zealous people of Sitio Kadenang Kristal after which immediately headed to Sitio Marimar Sapang Biabas, where children and adults alike patiently waited. Boogie and Julie David, together with their children whom they introduced to the residents, were present to personally grace the event.

The gift-giving at both sites followed short after the children were treated with a fried chicken and spaghetti meal from Jollibee.

Three out of the 70 children (two from Sitio Kadenang Kristal the other from Sitio Marimar Sapang Biabas) were even luckier to have received brand-new mountain bikes also provided by the generous alumni. Two of the three children emerged as winners from a Wowowee-inspired game, where several participants were asked to dance energetically to the tune of Eat Bulaga’s Kagat Labi, and the other one luckily won the raffle.

Later that afternoon, after having their siesta the residents practiced their Christmas pieces. At around 7 o’clock in the evening, they headed off the streets to carol, at most, seven homes. These homes confirmed that there is indeed generosity present in the place.

After the fun amateur exhibition of voice they ate their succulent dinner of baked macaroni and roasted liempo prepared by committees.

And then came the most-awaited part, the Exchange-Gift. The residents present, gladly handed and more gladly received their gifts to and from their respective colleagues. A total of 19 residents and another alumnus, Andre Galang (Salagpi 2001A) attended the day-long string of meaningful activities. The Christmas Party lasted the whole night as some of the residents spent their night with more bonding at Fergie’s home.

The residents present were: Marco, Daph, Allandail, Loree, Fergie, Elai, Michael, Ruth, Jen, Gboi, Justin, Buduy, Kevin, Dens, Anj, Minsky, Trisha, Jann and Jill.
